MAVProxy has this super-clean way of adding maps - one line, done. Defining a new map in QGC takes 20 lines across three files.

Please add support for other ESPG (projections) too. The map definitions could be stored in an external, user-editable file.

What problem does it solve? This allows for adding some very detailed maps. - many are other/local ESPG types. This would also clean up the way a map is added.

@AndKe Do you have a link to the relevant file in MAVProxy?

AndKe commented 1 year ago

@bpmooch - please see https://github.com/ArduPilot/MAVProxy/blob/master/MAVProxy/modules/mavproxy_map/mp_tile.py#L69 at line 69, you see all it takes to add a map. - (but only one one projection is supported)

As discussed earlier I think that would be very nice. No need to hard code this in actual code.
